Magic Johnson asked, "Why? LeBron, I believe that even with four championship rings, even after completing that legendary comeback when you were down 1–3, there must have been moments when you felt some despair—like when the two teams were so unevenly matched, and the score gap was so huge. Don't you think Wang Yi might feel that way now?"
"So why do you still believe in Wang Yi?"
LeBron James met Magic Johnson's gaze without flinching, then slowly gave his answer:
"Because he's Wang Yi."
Meanwhile, the haters watching the screen jumped back in.
After seeing what had happened to Bales, they didn't dare attack Wang Yi too openly. Instead, they stuck to the facts:
"Down by 50. The Raptors' winning streak is about to end!"
"Haha, sweet justice! Sweet justice!"
"Wang Yi's performance has been so disappointing. He's old."
In fact, despite being double-teamed from every direction in the first half, Wang Yi had scored 22 points on limited attempts, with an exceptionally high shooting percentage.
No one could criticize another star for that.
But when it came to Wang Yi, if the team won and he didn't score much, they said he could only rely on his teammates;
if he scored a lot but the team lost, they said he was just padding his stats in a losing effort;
if he didn't score much and the team lost, they called him useless;
if the team won and he scored a lot, they said he only cared about showing off and didn't give a damn about his teammates.
In short, the more people loved a superstar like Wang Yi, the more haters he had.
In the haters' eyes, Wang Yi was wrong just for drawing breath.
